Into the Breach!  Public Speaking with Shakespeare as Guide taught by Alison Weller 

Public speaking can be a scary and uncomfortable experience; we’re going to change that, with a little help from The Bard. In session one, we’ll explore technical elements of public speaking using one of Shakespeare’s rousing monologues. In session two, we’ll apply those elements to a short speech of your own: a roast, a toast, a work presentation.  We’ll learn how to warm up our voices and use visualizations and pitch graphs.  Let’s make speaking in front of your peers as yourself as much fun as playing a character in front of an audience! No experience necessary. 

When:  Mondays August 17 and 24 from 6-9 pm.

Ages: 18+.

All classes will be held in the Cape Rep Theatre Studio.
